The Colleseum is the greatest ampitheatre of the antiquity. It is considered an architectural and engineering wonder, and remains as a standing proof of both the grandeur and the cruelty of the Roman world.

I decided top research the 'Roman Colleseum' by having found that it is the basis as to where stadium architecture was influenced. Construction of the Colosseum beganin around 70–72AD. The Colosseum underwent several radical changes of use during the medieval period. By the late 6th century a small church had been built into the structure of the amphitheatre, though this apparently did not confer any particular religious significance on the building as a whole. The arena was converted into a cemetery. The numerous vaulted spaces in the arcades under the seating were converted into housing and workshops, and are recorded as still being rented out as late as the 12th century. Around 1200 the Fragipani Family took over the Colosseum and fortified it, apparently using it as a castle.

This is a site map of the immediate area around the stadium, using a coloured and numbered key alsohelps to show how wiseley site managers use their space.

This is a more recent seating plan at twickenham stadium.

This is one of the rooms over the stadium pitch at the Marriot Hotel in the south stand of the stadium also has contemporary and modern design. It is six miles away from heathrow airport and twenty minutes from central london which demonstrates how the building as a whole can relate well to travel situations.

The bar at the Marriot hotel, is one of the main places where people can relax, socialise and have a good time. this space seems very neccessery as to bringing more attraction to the stadium.
